Luca Pisaroni, Konstantin Krimmel and Johannes Weisser.
He also loves sharing the stage with actors and narrators including Christian Brückner, Udo Samel,
Thomas Thieme, and Hanns Zischler in the genre of melodrama. Daniel Heide had a close collaboration
with the late German-Greek mezzo-soprano Stella Doufexis. Their CD Poèmes with songs
by Claude Debussy was awarded the German Record Critics’ Prize. As a chamber music partner
in duo sonata recitals he has concertized with outstanding soloists including Sabine Meyer, Tabea
Zimmermann, Antje Weithaas, Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt, Jens Peter Maintz, and Danjulo Ishizaka.
Daniel Heide is the founder and artistic director of the vocal recital series Der lyrische Salon. Held in
Ettersburg Castle near Weimar, the series has existed since 2011 and is one of the few – anywhere
in the world – that is devoted exclusively to artsong. In that context he has collaborated with a great
number of celebrated soloists of the lied genre in more than 100 recitals at the Castle Ettersburg.
On CAvi-music he recorded with baritone Andrè Schuen songs by Robert Schumann, Hugo Wolf, Frank
Martin and a Schubert album Wanderer; with Roman Trekel most famous Loewe Ballades, with Stella
Doufexis Hamlet Echoes, with Konstantin Krimmel Liszt Songs and the album Liebe with the soprano
Katharina Konradi.
